Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!! My plan was actually to have a little Cinco fiesta on Monday night, because Tuesday nights are our busiest night of the week. But Scott came home sick from work with the stomach bug so alas we will have Cinco de Mayo on Cinco de Mayo.
I am trying out a new Chicken Carnitas recipe that I found on Pinterest and will let you know how it turns out. It is simmering in the crock pot right now. I am also trying a Qudoba copycat lime cilantro rice recipe as a side. Anything with lime and cilantro in the name sounds delicious to me.
And what is Cinco de Mayo without cocktails! Now I love a good Margarita just as much as the next, but I wanted to try something new. I found all these yummy looking beergarita recipes last week, but when it came down to it, I didn't have any tequila. So I went with things I had on hand and made a Lime Shandy.
It actually is so refreshing! Here is the recipe:
Cinco de Mayo Lime Shandyrita
1 oz Gin
1 tsp Lime Juice
5 oz Shandy beer (I used Sam Adams Porch Rocker)
Ice
Garnish with a slice of lime or Orange
Hope you have have a Loco Cinco! XO
